Nine Lords a-blogging
Nine peers, with the support of the Hansard Society, have launched a blog to give members of the public an insight into the work of the House of Lords and the opportunity for discussion and debate on topical issues. The blogsite is now live and has already attracted comments from the public. Issues that have been posted about by peers so far, range from House of Lords reform to the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
The peers plan to contribute regular entries onto the site and moderate the content themselves. Over the next six months the Hansard Society will evaluate the pilot through data captured about the audience and assess its reach and value. To get involved please visit the Lords of the Blog website and have your say.
